Self Edge x Iron Heart 07 – The Black Year

‘The Black Year’ is a one-year contest between myself and Superfuture’s world famous Beatle. With the release of the Self Edge x Iron Heart 07 overdyed black 19 oz. jeans, I was ready for another long denim project. This friendly exhibition will continue from 12/18/09 – 12/18/10; an entire year of denim updates and detail shots. Beatle will drop out to head over to the Superdenim’s Eternal contest, while I’ll continue wearing the SExIH07′s for an additional year.

Sun bleached Flat Head black chambray shirt

When Self Edge first opened in 2007, I remember getting three items: Flat Head 3001′s, a Flat Head houndstooth shirt, and a Flat Head black chambray. In 2008, Self Edge had a display featuring my senior thesis at NYU; the display had mannequins wearing some of my clothes, including the black chambray shirt. After staying on display for a year, the clothing became completely sun bleached from the front, and here are the results.

One of the more interesting parts that came from this sun bleaching is the collar, pockets, and snaps; opening them reveals a stark contrast from the original color of the chambray.

Cotton Duck’s Flat Head mid-length wallet

Samuel’s new blog, Cotton Duck (which is also his moniker), details some pretty cool denim and denim related items. He recently posted up some photographs of his Flat Head mid-length wallet from Self Edge, and I must say it’s looking pretty well aged. It reminds me that I haven’t taken any shots of my mid-length wallet in quite some time. I’ll make a post with updates on it in the near future.

Update: Here is a comparison shot of our wallets from January 2008 when his was newly received.

Gone to New York

I’m out of town for the next two weeks; expect sporadic updates while I work out of the Self Edge New York offices during my exodus from San Francisco. There will definitely be food pics.

Weekend at Self Edge New York

I arrived in New York early Saturday morning to catch the opening party for Self Edge New York. I spent most of the weekend eating, drinking, and bowling with Mr. and Mrs. Self Edge and the 3Sixteen crew. Thank you to 3Sixteen and Self Edge for an amazing time. I’m looking forward to taking a longer visit at the end of August (where I’ll hopefully be eating a lot more food than I was physically capable of consuming this time around). A photo-ladened post after the jump.

Self Edge x Dry Bones x Superfuture jeans

Superfuture has finally created a jean to reflect the infinite wisdom and resource of their popular subforum dedicated to all things Japanese denim. In collaboration with Self Edge and Dry Bones, this Superfuture’s first official jean. It comes out just in time for the third annual Self Edge x Superfuture party on March 7th.

“With the SEXDBXS09 jean we’ve allowed the users of Superfuture and Superdenim to give their input on styling, cut, and accents for a very special jean to be released on February 28th; even the leather patch was designed by a renown artist from Texas named JimmyC from Superfuture.

The SEXDBXS09 jean has been produced by Dry Bones, one of Japan’s longest running vintage Americana style denim manufacturers. Months were spent getting the denim exactly where we wanted it and the denim was woven for this project; as the denim has never before been used on another garment nobody knows exactly how it will age. Self Edge has chosen a denim with a little more weight than the classic styles, at 16oz it’s got heft to it, and with massive amounts of character showing from the warp and weft it’s sure to age well. The fit is that of a straight leg jean, slightly slimmed down, with a button fly and a long inseam which can be hemmed to the wearer’s length without altering the silhouette.

We’re proud the way the denim has turned out, it’s something we’ve never had in the store before. The denim has been calendered and singed, yet hasn’t lost any character which is instantly recognizable even at a quick glance. Rounded out with hidden rivets, cowhide leather tag, Superfuture dual-tone “Rep Bar” stitch, military grade green rear pocket linings, coin pocket selvedge, and a cotton poly-core stitch; this jean is exactly what we want to be seen in.”

You can also read the exclusive breaking news from Cool Hunting, where they interview Self Edge owner, Kiya Babzani, and the artist for the jean’s leather patch design, Jimmy Crow.

The jean will be released on February 28th, 2009. Retail price for the SUFUxDBxS is $275.
